What you pay
Louez
On pay-per-booking, each confirmed booking costs $1 down to $0.30 depending on your monthly volume, and a month without rentals costs nothing. The store, payments, deposits, agreements and inspections are included, with unlimited team members. A subscription is also available, from $49 a month. Payment processing fees are separate.
Quipli
Core costs $6,000 a year per location, billed yearly, with unlimited users and inventory. Plus, with Quinn AI (voice receptionist, prospecting, CRM), costs $10,000 a year per location.
Monthly cost example
Example in dollars: one location, a $60 average order, every booking paid online. Louez pay-per-booking after the free bookings; Quipli Core converted to a monthly amount.
| Bookings / month | Payments received | Louez pay per booking | Quipli |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | $0 | $0 | $500 |
| 50 | $3,000 | $50 | $500 |
| 100 | $6,000 | $90 | $500 |
| 200 | $12,000 | $140 | $500 |
Illustrative calculation, excluding tax and payment provider fees. Quipli is billed yearly: the monthly amount is the yearly price divided by twelve.
Which one fits?
Louez fits if…
You rent in Europe, your business follows the seasons and you do not want a yearly commitment. You want your data hosted in France.
Quipli fits if…
You rent construction equipment or tools in North America, with a counter, deliveries, QuickBooks Online and sales tax to handle, and a large team to equip with no per-user cost.
